<h3><a href="http://robotcoop.com/weblog/70/" class="entry-title">Building web services that play nicely with other web services</a>&nbsp;<span>—&nbsp;2 days ago</span></h3>


    <p><a href="http://upcoming.org/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">Upcoming</a> has been very actively improving its <a href="http://upcoming.org/services/api/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">web services API</a> over the last week or two, and a few of their most recent changes have allowed us to integrate upcoming.org into 43things.com:</p>

	<p><strong>Events on city pages.</strong> You can now see upcoming events on <a href="http://www.43things.com/city/view/1" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">any of our city pages</a>.  It’ll display the next 10 events in that city and link to upcoming.org for the rest.</p>

	<p><strong>Call our web services with Upcoming’s IDs.</strong>
You can now get city information from our web services by passing
Upcoming’s metro_id instead of our id. We’re hoping that this’ll make
it easier to combine web services if, say, someone wanted to create a
site that matched goals up with events and plotted them on a google map
along with all of the craigslist apartments that were available for
rent. At least, they wouldn’t have to do an extra search on our site to
match the cities together. This kind of stuff makes my brain spin, but
it’s the future!</p>

	<p><strong>More info added to person requests.</strong> While we were mucking about with the web services, we also added a couple extra fields to the <a href="http://www.43things.com/about/view/web_service_objects#person" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">Person</a>
object (the XML that gets returned whenever a person or a list of
people is requested). First, we added the Upcoming.org metro_id for
those people who’ve let us know <a href="http://www.43things.com/account/add_city" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">which city they live in</a>.  Second, we added the flickr_username for anyone that’s associated their <a href="http://flickr.com/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">flickr</a> photos with their 43 Things account.  Here’s <a href="http://www.43things.com/service/get_person?api_key=1234&amp;id=erik" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">my profile</a>
as an example. Again, we’re hoping that by consolidating some of the
various information about a person on the web, that people will be able
to do cool things more easily. </p>

	<p>Finally, all of the <a href="http://www.43things.com/about/view/web_service_methods_people" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">person-related method calls</a>
now support requests where you pass us someone’s flickr_username
instead of their 43 Things username. It would be fairly easy for
someone that’s already getting information from flickr to send out one
extra call and get that person’s goals, or their entries, or their
teammates, or their tags.</p>

	<p>This is where we see web services
getting really interesting. When the web services start playing nicely
with one another, you can begin to string them all together and build
things that are greater than the sum of their parts. Let us know if you
build anything with any of this and we’ll link to it from here.</p>

Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky had unprecedented access to Metallica
while the rockers recorded their 2003 album, "St. Anger." And the
filmmakers were in the right place at the right (or perhaps wrong) time
when lead singer James Hetfield spent five months in rehab. They also
recorded the fallout when bassist Jason Newstad was replaced with
Robert Trujillo and were on hand during the group's no-holds-barred
therapy sessions.

<h3><a href="http://erikbenson.typepad.com/mu/2005/04/all_consuming_r.html" class="entry-title">All Consuming reborn!</a>&nbsp;<span>—&nbsp;4 days ago</span></h3>


    
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>Thank you everyone that
has been so encouraging during the stressful times of my many server
woes. Truthfully, I've sort of been being lazy about maintaining these
sites and therefore feel like I sort of deserved it when the back
burner grew claws and mean teeth and bit my head off. </p>

<p>So, I took the weekend and got tried to rebuild the core of what I
originally intended the site to be, and threw in a few other
ingredients that I picked up along the way. The result is here:</p>

<p><a href="http://new.allconsuming.net/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">http://new.allconsuming.net</a></p>

<p>I'll move it over to the default domain after another couple days...
I haven't really done that much in the way of performance improvements,
but now at least I have much better tools with which to figure things
out.</p>

<p>A few notes on changes:</p>

<p><strong>I focused on people with accounts.</strong> My original
dream behind All Consuming was that nobody would actually need an
account... that it would crawl weblogs and get enough information from
that to be useful. I'm still very interested in that angle, but I've
found that most people are more interested in the creation of book
lists on the site itself, so I built that first.</p>

<p><strong>Tags.</strong> I used to have a defined set of categories
you could add items to: currently reading, favorite, never finished,
re-reading, etc. I had a million requests to add to the category
options, but it was a bit too much work for me to do very often. Now,
instead of having categories, you can now add tags to things on your
list, much the same way that you can on every other new website on the
block: <a href="http://del.icio.us/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">del.icio.us</a>, <a href="http://flickr.com/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">flickr</a>, <a href="http://43things.com/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">43things.com</a> (my company's site), <a href="http://upcoming.org/" target="_blank" class="blines3" title="Link outside of this blog">upcoming.org</a>,
and many more. Love tags? So do I... even more than the hype makes me.
One thing I've done that I haven't seen much of yet is a way to assign
a single tag to many of your items at once. Log in and go to a tag page
to see what I mean.</p>

<p><strong>More than just books.</strong> This has been the number 1
request since day one. I've always hesitated simply because I find
books to be the most exciting thing in the world and music and movies
and the such only less so. But I thought I'd throw it in as long as I
was messing around with it. Now you can add albums, movies, and
anything else you can possibly dream of to your consuming list. Woo!</p>

<p><strong>Improved javascript include.</strong> You can now specify
which subsection of your list gets added to your javascript include by
specifying a comma-delimited set of tags to pull from. This is an
experiment and may change in the future, but it seemed like an
interesting thing to try out.</p>

<p><strong>Backfilling the data.</strong> I'm slowly backfilling the
data from the old site to the new. It's taking a while because I
changed a lot about the way the data is stored. So some pages will be
slow until the backfill is complete because it'll try to backfill data
on the fly if you visit a page that hasn't been updated yet. Let me
know if anyone experiences problems with the backfill of data.</p>

<p><strong>Many more things coming soon.</strong> Most likely, after I
get back from Brazil though. I want to add the web crawl back in, and
hopefully improve it so that it can actually go through all of the
blogs that are now being created. As it is, I've had to cut back on
some blogs simply because it took too long to check them all.</p></div>

<p>I think it takes a special gene or something. That’s the only
possibility left, considering how much effort I put into this. My
friend just started learning the guitar a couple weeks ago and already
she can sing and play at the same time. Not fair!</p>

<h2>About me</h2>
<div class="link-note">
<p>I'm 28, I work at <a href="http://robotcoop.com/">The Robot Co-op</a> (which runs a site called <a href="http://www.43things.com/">43 Things</a>), I sort of run <a href="http://allconsuming.net/">All Consuming</a> (a book site), I live in Seattle, I once wrote a book called <a href="http://manversushimself.net/">Man Versus Himself</a>, and I like to sing songs.</p>

<p>This site is a collection of most of my activity on the writable web.  Here's a little bit about <a href="http://erikbenson.typepad.com/mu/2005/02/using_bloglines.html">what I was thinking when I built it</a>.
